Avery stood alone seven or eight meters away in front of the ragtag army blockade. In the dust blown by the breeze, his body was as straight as a steel gun.
The atmosphere among the group of generals behind them was oppressive and tense.
After Avery arrived with seven or eight senior officers, the scoldings and discussions that originally filled the place disappeared without a trace. The generals of Eugene's line naturally stood behind Avery.
The aristocratic private army generals not far away gathered around Darnell and looked at him with complicated expressions.
Until now, the ragtag army has only surrounded the logistics convoy without further attack. No one knows whether this powder keg will be ignited. And Avery's arrival has added to the conflict.
A little nervous and a little meaningful.
Everyone knows that the reason why everyone can still stand here together is that there has not been a public break between Eugene and the nobles.
The upper echelons are still playing games and negotiating. At least they are waiting for the other party to show their sword first. Therefore, none of these military generals know how things will change before tomorrow comes. Between themselves and the other party,
Are they enemies or comrades?
If nothing exciting happens, this situation may be maintained, at least until the sun rises tomorrow. But no one expected that when the two camps still maintain a tacit understanding and balance, the riot army
But something like this happened.
No one knows what the mob wants to do. No one knows whether the other camp will take this opportunity to cause any trouble.
Especially for nobles and private army generals, they are particularly vigilant in this regard.
The rear camp is their back garden and the most important weight in their fight with Eugene for control of the coalition. All logistical supplies are in their hands, leaving out food, weapons and tents. Horses, trucks, water,
Carpenters, blacksmiths and peasants, this army is not going anywhere.
The rabble-rousing army surrounding the rear camp with such great fanfare was not only a contempt and insult to them, but also easily allowed Eugene's group to find an opportunity to insert their hands into the rear camp.
You know, just in the past few days, there have been a lot of conflicts in the army. Many soldiers under the nobles who had conflicts or even feuds with each other seemed to be unable to control their anger and started fighting at every turn. There have been several
A noble private army officer was replaced as a result. Although most of them were due to the stupid mistakes made by these guys, on the other hand, it also showed that Eugene and his gang were watching him all the time.
In other places, everyone just tolerates it. Absolutely not in the back camp!
At this moment, seeing Avery, the number two figure in the coalition, leading a group of senior military officers to come here in person, Darnell and the private army generals beside him tensed their nerves.
Among the generals of Eugene's line, Avery is the most difficult to deal with. He is tough and shrewd. If Eugene is like a rigid and loyal old horse, then Avery is a vicious dog.
.You can't even think of dealing with him the same way you dealt with Eugene. Moreover, you have to be on guard at all times to prevent him from taking away the meat and bones.
Just like now, the private army generals feel uncomfortable all over.
Originally, Darnell was the highest-ranking officer here. He could legitimately issue orders, use military laws and regulations, and even send troops to suppress, to threaten the ragtag group of soldiers to stop their mutiny.
But as soon as Avery arrived, he directly took away Darnell's leadership and put himself in a position to talk to the rabble.
Not only that, he also issued a martial law order in the military camp. Any troop movement without orders will be regarded as rebellion and will be suppressed mercilessly.
This is almost a warning to the private military generals who may use the army to suppress it. Tell them not to think about acting rashly. If they dare to use the army without his consent, they themselves will also bear the consequences.
The crime of being a rebel!
This made the private army generals feel as sick as if they had eaten flies.
The ragtag soldiers who went to report Avery's arrival had already run towards the queue of knights behind the blockade. Avery stood in front of the blockade, waiting quietly.
Behind him, the private army generals were talking a lot.
"Why did Avery come so fast?" A noble general with gloomy eyes muttered beside Darnell.
Another general wearing black armor sneered and said: "Hey, we had a conflict with the riot army. If he doesn't come to see the fun and get some benefits, what are you waiting for?"
"These guys from the Logistics Guards are really well fed. To have a conflict with an entire ragtag army in order to deal with a new boy from the training camp is simply stupid." A tall and sturdy knight said angrily.
"Shh, shut up. Don't you know what the adults mean behind this? Besides, there is also Lord Xilin..." the noble general with gloomy eyes scolded in a low voice.
Everyone stared at the tall and sturdy knight who was as silent as a shudder, and fell silent for a while.
After a long time, someone said: "What do you think Avery will do?"
Everyone shook their heads.
If strictly enforced in accordance with military law, the mob army's action of surrounding the logistics guard camp directly committed more than a dozen serious crimes. Disobedience of orders, unauthorized deployment of troops, mutilation of soldiers, rebellion... and so on. From the leader
Anyone who is a leader or a follower can be sent to the gallows.
As the deputy commander of the army, Avery should logically observe strict military discipline. He should be arrested and killed, and he should be ruthless.
But everyone knows that this is just a luxury wish.
Avery is not that stupid. Moreover, he is not as selfless as Eugene. Let him handle the conflict between the ragtag army and the logistics escort. Not only is it impossible for everyone to expect him to administer justice, but it will take time.
Beware of him looking for opportunities to join the logistical escort team.
As he spoke, the sound of horse hoofbeats was heard. As the soldiers on the blockade dispersed, a group of galloping knights passed through the gap in the stable and emerged. In front of them was a black Xiatai horse with kinked muscles, like a giant beast.
.The knight on the horse is wearing heavy armor, tall and burly, and imposing.
Hiss. Everyone present took a breath of cold air.
Although many people have heard that there are many high-level knights in this ragtag army, they usually belong to different barracks and have never seen it with their own eyes. At this moment, when they saw the leading knight, a strong sense of oppression hit their faces.
Come on. Many people can't help but take a step back, feeling apprehensive.
Even if the knight comes close, he reins in his horse and comes slowly. Even if he just rides quietly on the horse, without arousing fighting spirit, and without the slightest tendency to attack, the generals present can see from his iron tower.
I feel an unparalleled strength in my body.
Glory Knight!
This guy is the knight leading the mutiny!
Looking at the rabble-rousing knight formation at the rear, the generals' heartbeats began to beat faster and faster.
Behind the leading knight is a glorious knight who is as tall as him and exudes a strong aura. His long messy hair is exposed from the gap in his helmet, like a lion, majestic.
Behind him were dozens of knights also wearing heavy armor. They came on horseback, their mounts marching in uniform steps, and the ups and downs of their horses' hooves were like war drums, giving people a soul-stirring rhythm.
This rhythm is all too familiar to the knights present.
This is the slow step before the knight charges.
The reason why knights are powerful, in addition to their own fighting spirit and martial arts, is also because they can use the speed and physical strength of their war horses to form a devastating impact.
The reasonable use of horsepower is a required course for every knight.
In order to save precious horse power, knights would ride walking horses when marching to maintain the physical strength of the fighting horses. When charging in battle, their speed was also increased step by step.
The first level is a slow walk. The horses trot in a dense and neat formation. The second level is a fast walk. The horses gallop at a medium speed, and the queues are spread out. It is not until they are within a hundred meters of the enemy that the knight lays down his lance and starts the first step.
Three levels of high-speed charge.
Although they have seen the slow pace of knights' queues countless times, when the ragtag knights in front of them rode in in neat formations and almost at the same rhythm, the officers and generals present still felt a sense of absurdity.
Is this a riot army?
When did a ragtag army of knights walk slowly and uniformly in such an orderly manner? Aren't they always ignoring each other, and no matter what they do, they always swarm up or disperse in a mess?
A group of ragtag knights actually stepped into a neat rhythm that only the royal knights could have. This feeling was as incredible as seeing a group of wild boars dancing ballet. But everyone had to admit that the scene in front of them, besides being ridiculous,
There is also a breathtaking shock.
The sense of oppression brought by these dozens of knights even exceeded the most elite knights they had ever seen. Even the Munich Knights of Archduke Adolf's Bavarian Knights were nothing more than this.
The queue of knights approached quickly. In the blink of an eye, they were in front of Avery.
The leading knight sat down on the black Chateau horse, like a giant beast, and rushed in front of Avery. Only under the knight's reining action did it grow its hooves.
The iron hoof, which was as big as the mouth of a bowl, almost touched the tip of Avery's nose.
Facing the majestic momentum of the leading knight and the dozens of knights behind him, Avery stood there straight from beginning to end, not even moving, not even blinking his eyelids.
This calmness made the onlookers around him highly admired.
Aguli reined in his horse and looked at Avery in surprise, with a hint of respect flashing in his eyes.
He turned over and dismounted, took off his helmet, and saluted: "Aguli, captain of the first brigade of the 1st Battalion of the Wuhe Army, greets you, respected Mr. Avery."
The sky was gradually getting dark, and torches were lit all around. The beeping and burning flames were dancing, reflecting on Aguli's face.
This is a square face, with a rough and ordinary appearance. The dark skin and messy hair are just like the ordinary mercenaries that everyone sees running around for survival.
The generals all around were whispering and pointing.
Aguli had only been in the camp for a short time, and most people had never seen him. No one expected that it would be such a person who had the audacity to lead the ragtag army to launch this mutiny.
But Avery was the only one who suddenly froze when he saw this face, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
"Agul..." He chewed the name gently, cast his eyes on Debata behind Aguli, and asked, "I don't know about this one..."
Debata lifted his helmet, bowed on his horse, and replied, "Captain Debata of the First Battalion of the Second Battalion, I would like to send my regards to you, dear Mr. Avery."
Aguli Debata......
Under the firelight, Avery's face became extremely strange. The calmness he had just stood in front of the galloping horse disappeared because of these two names.
It's them! It's them!
Avery couldn't believe his eyes. At this moment, he completely forgot the purpose of coming. He just stared blankly at the two knights in front of him, his heart beating like a drum.
No one else knew these two people, but Avery would never admit their mistake!
Eight years ago, when he was still an ordinary two-star justice knight, he once led a small team from Lulian to the border town of Longmen for an official mission.
Avery stayed at the Longmen Military Camp for half a month. Most of that time, he traveled to various departments in the army. What he saw were only some middle and low-level officials of the Ninth Army. And just when he completed his official duties and prepared
On the way back, we encountered an attack by the Feili people in the Longmen War Zone.
That time, the Feili people mobilized in large numbers, crossed the actual line of control between the two sides, and attacked several towns and villages around Longmen. At least nearly 2,000 civilians and more than 200 soldiers stationed at the frontline outposts were involved in this sudden incident.
He was killed in the attack. The entire war zone was in turmoil. Avery's trip was also delayed because of this.
When the battle report came, the huge Longmen military camp acted instantly like a hibernating bear that had been angered.
Every day, Avery, who had nothing to do, stood in front of the barracks, watching countless soldiers coming from all directions; watching the hurried and orderly movement of personnel and materials between the battalions; watching the field troops in the wilderness.
The horizon advances; watching the rolling iron cavalry pass through the military formation and gallop into the distance.
The loud sound of the horn, the sound of horse hooves that shook the earth, the billowing dust, the heralds passing by, the forest of lances and the spear flags fluttering in the wind still replay it in my mind from time to time.
What impressed Avery the most was the Knights of the Ninth Legion at that time - the knights led by the famous Dragon Gate Iron Gate Kalenich.
That was the most powerful knighthood that Avery had ever seen.
In the Ninth Legion, every soldier mentions his own knights with a thumbs up and his face is full of pride. They can know the achievements of the knights at home, and they can talk about every battle the knights participated in.
Become alive and immersive.
They respect these knights from the bottom of their hearts. As long as a knight passes by, they will always get out of the way willingly and greet them warmly.
Infected by the soldiers, Avery was full of curiosity about the Dragon Gate Iron Gate and the knights under his command.
During that Feili attack, he watched the knights go on the expedition, and also witnessed the spectacular scene of the blood-covered iron cavalry returning to the military camp seven days later amid the cheers of thousands of soldiers and people.
In this battle, the Knights dispatched two long knight brigades, 500 peripheral knights, beheaded 2,300 people, and captured nearly 3,000 people. They defeated a silver knight group of Philip's army.
At the same time, they retaliated with tit-for-tat, breaking through the line of control and going deep into Filie's controlled areas, directly erasing four Filie towns with a population of thousands from the map.
When the knights from the expedition returned to the military camp, most of them were so weak that they could not even ride their horses. For seven days and seven nights, they kept running and fighting. Their armors were covered with scars.
His body and the fur of the horse he sat on were covered in blood.
Only those who have seen that scene with their own eyes know how shocking it was. It was at that time that Avery remembered the two iron towers in the queue of tired knights, who seemed to never tire.
and their names.
"They are Lord Kalenich's retinue of knights. On the left is a shield-bearing retinue named Aguli, and on the right is a sword-wielding retinue named Debata."
"Although they are all servant knights, they all have the strength of a glorious knight."
"Master Kalenich didn't go on an expedition this time, so he only sent the two of them. Darling, with these two killing gods here, the Feili people are really unlucky."
"Of course, these two are notoriously cruel people."
That year, the soldiers' discussions were still echoing in his ears, but at this moment, looking at the two faces in front of him, Avery felt as if time and space had been reversed.
A few years ago, he heard that Kalenich left the Ninth Legion because he lost his fighting spirit. These two retinues also left with him. No one knew where they went. He also had this reason
This sad news has made me feel sad for a long time.
But he didn't expect that they would appear in front of him in such an identity and in such a way!
For a moment, Avery didn't know what to say.
"Mr. Aguli, Mr. Debata," Avery finally collected his emotions after a long time and said seriously, "I've heard the name for a long time."
Aguli and the two looked at Avery. Just when he regarded this sentence as a normal greeting, they saw Avery slightly tilted his head and whispered, "If there is a chance, please give me a speech to the respected Ka
Say hello to Lord Lenich. You know, I am his loyal admirer."
The expressions of Aguli and Debata suddenly changed.
Although they both used their own names when they entered the camp, few people would know that they were Kalenich's knights. Especially a few years ago, Kalenich lost his fighting spirit and they also left together.
After that, even the Ninth Legion had long forgotten about them.
The two of them did not expect that this knight far south would actually know them.
"How do you know us?" Debata's hand silently pressed the hilt of the sword.
"Eight years ago, I went to Longmen Camp for business..." Avery recounted the battle that day. He said solemnly, "The two adults led the army to attack and defeated Fei Lie's army. On the day of the victory, I stood on the roadside.
I welcome you with everyone. At that time, I just wished I was not one of you."
Hearing Avery's answer, Aguli and Debata couldn't help but feel a little moved.
They have experienced hundreds of battles. Even they themselves can't remember the war eight years ago. But they didn't expect that Avery remembered it so clearly. What's even more surprising is that from Avery's demeanor and tone
, they can completely feel a kind of respect from the heart.
Although they have long since lost the vanity they had when they were young, this kind of respect is also very rare for them who have experienced the ups and downs of human relationships because they have lost their fighting spirit.
They tried to ask about the situation that day, and Aguli and Debata were sure that Avery was not lying. And as they recalled the past, the atmosphere between the three of them slowly changed from the cautious and tense atmosphere just now.
Gotta relax.
Aguli and Debata no longer regard Avery as the general who came to deal with them, and Avery seems to have forgotten the generals behind him and his own purpose.
The more the three of them chatted, the more they became more and more congenial, chatting and laughing happily.
But this scene, in the eyes of others, seemed a bit off.
Although the generals of the private army did not expect Avery to suppress with an iron fist and sparks fly, they did not expect that as the deputy commander of the army, he not only did not strictly observe military discipline, but also chatted with the other party.
!Looking at that posture, it seems that we can keep chatting like this until dawn tomorrow!
"Why, the more I look at them, the more I feel like they are in the same group." Among the private army generals, the noble general with gloomy eyes said casually.
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. The private army generals looked at each other, and suddenly felt an unusual flavor from this sentence.
"Don't tell me, I feel the same way," the tall knight agreed, smacking his lips, "Don't these gang members not know that the crime they did is enough to be sent to the gallows? That kid from the training camp is there again.
If he's not their father, why would he work so hard for him?"
As he said that, he smashed his palms with his fist and looked around at everyone, "Yes! That's the problem. These guys usually stand alone and don't obey anyone. If there is no one behind the scenes, no one will guarantee their serious crimes,
There's no way they can work together to do something like this!"
The words of the tall and strong knight immediately hit the doubts in the minds of the private army generals.
Someone interjected: "In twelve more prayer hours, it will be the deadline for Fano's rear army to go on the expedition. The adults and Eugene have been in a stalemate over the issue of logistics and supply, and they have not reached a conclusion yet. You said, especially
In order to ensure that the rear army goes out on time, will Jin have the idea of defending the rear camp?"
As soon as he finished speaking, another person continued: "Definitely! Moreover, not only the rear army will go out, but also we will really break up and fight. If we want to fight for the control of Munich City, the rear camp is also a top priority.
!”
The words of these two people only made everyone feel frightened.
The aristocratic general with gloomy eyes took a step forward and said eagerly to Darnell, who was as heavy as water: "My lord, they are right. The ragtag army did not come sooner or later, but it happened to surround the rear camp at this time. Obviously,
With bad intentions. Also, as soon as Avery arrived here, he declared martial law, clearly intending to tie our hands and feet. If the ragtag army is really a group of them, then..."
Darnell's eyes suddenly narrowed, and they were all bright!
Everyone else also gasped for a while.
Thinking about it carefully at this time, everyone realized that a multi-prayer hour had passed and the entire logistics convoy was surrounded by a ragtag army. There was no news at all. Especially the leader of the convoy, Hermann, had not been revealed until now.
Face. This is absolutely not normal!
What happened inside?
If the other party is really a group. If the mutiny of the rioters is really a conspiracy directed by Eugene's side behind the scenes, then if we wait any longer, these people here will all become idiots who can be teased by others!
Thinking of this, no one can remain calm.
Darnell walked away, walked to Avery, and said with a gloomy face: "Vice Commander Avery, the ragtag army rebelled brazenly. They surrounded the logistics escort team and disrupted the military camp. It is an unforgivable crime. I hope you can
Deal with it impartially, arrest the leading rebels immediately, disarm the rioters, and calm the situation."
By the end of the sentence, Darnell was already stern.
At the same time, all the generals behind him also cheered and surrounded him.
Avery, who was chatting with Aguli, heard the sound and looked back at Darnell with a surprised look on his face, asking: "Mutiny? What mutiny?"
In fact, after seeing off Eugene, Avery got the news that the Wuhe Army was surrounding the logistics convoy on the way to the Wuhe Army camp. This news made Avery originally take pleasure in the misfortune and even wanted to do something for him.
He was a little disappointed for a time after being cheered and supported by this rabble.
It's one thing for the ragtag army to cause trouble for the logistics escort team. It's another thing to deploy troops without authorization to surround the military camp. The two are completely different in nature!
As the deputy commander, Avery is very clear about the bottom line of military law for an army. The behavior of the ragtag army has completely exceeded this bottom line. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as bold and even crazy. Even if he is biased towards them again
, and had to deal with it with an iron fist to avoid causing a catastrophe.
However, when Avery discovered that the ragtag army had only surrounded the logistics convoy from beginning to end and did not attack. Especially when he discovered that the leaders of this mutiny were actually Aguli and Debata, he
I completely let go of the big stone in my heart.
Although he still doesn't know the purpose of Aguli and Debata leading this mutiny, whether it was to force the logistics guard to release the boy, it is a fact that they did not take action.
At the same time, Avery did not believe that imperial heroes like Aguli and Debata would do anything detrimental to Lulian.
He knew that there must be some reason behind all this. But now, he was not ready to get the answer and share it with Darnell and the others.
Facing Darnell's questioning, Avery looked surprised, as if he didn't know what was going on.
"Avery, you..." Darnell wanted to tear the face in front of him off!
Just now, this guy had declared martial law in front of me and taken over the power of handling, with a posture of handling the crisis without hesitation. But in the blink of an eye, he put on this face for himself.
No matter how shameless you are, you can't be so shameless, right?!
However, Darnell had been with Avery for many days and knew his character. It was useless no matter how much he said. He didn't say much to him at the moment, but turned to Agulli fiercely: "I don't care who you are.
Now listen to me and ask your people to stop causing trouble immediately and return to the camp for review."
With that said, he waved his hand decisively and signaled to the private army generals behind him: "Go in immediately, check the situation of the logistics escort team, find Herman, and ask him to come see me immediately! If anyone dares to stop...
..." He met Aguli's gaze with fierce eyes, "Kill without mercy!"
"Yes!" Everyone responded.
As knights, in terms of strength, although they are not as good as the two glorious knights in front of them, they all have the status of senior officers of the coalition. Based on this alone, they do not believe that the other party dares to attack them.
No matter what, you must contact the logistics escort team first!
Following Darnell's order, more than a dozen private army generals and their retinue of knights and guards drew their swords at the same time, kicked their horses in the belly, urged their horses and rushed towards the blockade of ragtag soldiers.
"Stop!"
Seeing this situation, the generals from Avery and Eugene's line yelled out.
However, for the determined private army generals, such orders had no effect. In the blink of an eye, a private army knight who broke out at the front had already rushed to the blockade on horseback.
Facing the charging knights, the ragtag soldiers remained motionless.
This time when the logistics escort was blocked, the instructions they received were not to take action without an order. Therefore, facing the private army generals who came on horseback, these men just grasped the hilts of their swords and stared angrily.
His feet were firmly planted in place.
The private knight laughed ferociously and did not slow down!
Just as he was about to run into a thin ragtag soldier, suddenly, a horse struck at an angle, the horse leaned forward and hit him hard on the side!
boom!
The war horses neigh and the dust is flying!
The private knight was hit by this collision, and both the man and the horse flew out sideways. The man and the horse separated in the air. The war horse fell to the ground and neighed and rolled, pulling out a long ravine, but the man was like a cannonball fired directly.
It was shot forty to fifty meters away, knocking over a pile of barrels and debris, and the debris flew away.
Herod!
A group of private knights following closely behind them were shocked and stopped. For a moment, all they could see was a group of horses or hoof-raisers standing up, or spinning around in a chaotic mess!
After everyone calmed down in shock, they discovered that in front of the rabble-rousing soldier line, Debata, who looked like a steel behemoth with hair and beard sprouting, stood on horseback with a spear!
The eight battle rings are like eight whirling thunderstorms, flying up and down, filled with a kind of manic energy that makes people shudder! It seems that if you get even slightly close, you will be attacked by them, swallowed up by them, and turned into fly ash!
The scene was completely silent!
People around stared blankly at this god-like knight, their hearts beating wildly. Dozens of private army generals and their retinues and guards all looked fearful, reining in their horses and hesitating!
Too fast, too strong!
Just now, Debata was standing beside Aguli and Avery, watching with cold eyes the private army generals, under Darnell's order, suddenly launched to attack the blockade of rabble-roused soldiers. And in the blink of an eye,
In an instant, he transformed into a bolt of lightning, knocking the knight away at the last moment!
Although on the surface, the force of this collision is all due to the divine steed of the Xia Tai horse he sat on. But the real experts know that the power of the war horse, in addition to its own quality, lies more in the knight.
strength.
The stronger the knight's fighting spirit, the stronger the strength and endurance of the war horse. The more superb the knight's riding skills, the more agile and faster the war horse's movements.
The collision just now took only a blink of an eye from starting to sprinting. Moreover, the distance left for him was only twenty or thirty meters. He could control the horse to complete such a charge in such a short time and such a short distance.
, whether it is fighting spirit or riding skills, they are absolutely terrifyingly strong!
Who can survive with such a sinister figure standing in front of him?
